I'm not going to spend a long time responding to your comment, since it seems accusatory and rude; if you modify it to be more substantive I'll happily engage more. The one specific response I have is: it's not that I > say nothing specific or concrete: [I] only throw blanket ad hominems that sound very spiteful ...rather, it's that I'm criticizing Martin's approach to teaching rather than his approach to programming. I expand on that criticism more in an adjacent comment, here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43171470 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43171470
